...of course without the # at the end <cfset temporaryfile = gettemporarydirabs() & "\" & theImage.getName() />

Mike, It looks like you're got CF trying to do an integer division with two strings. Try <cfset temporaryfile = gettemporarydirabs() & "\" & theImage.getName()# /> instead. That should work for you.

But i'm getting an error. I've tried every combination and permutation I can think of but still havent hit the correct one . can anyone see what i'm obviously too close to now to see? The two values (which DO return strings - i've checked) are : #gettemporarydirabs()# and #theImage.getName()# The error is: "The value E:\Sites\Customers\Customername\wwwroot\cms\images\userfiles\Temporary cannot be converted to a number." That value is what is returned from the first function gettemporarydirabs() . The line that causes the error is: <cfset temporaryfile = tostring(#gettemporarydirabs()#\#theImage.getName()#) /> I've also tried the following: <cfset temporaryfile = "#gettemporarydirabs()#\#theImage.getName()#" /> <cfset temporaryfile = evaluate(#gettemporarydirabs()#\#theImage.getName()#) /> <cfset temporaryfile = tostring(#gettemporarydirabs()# & "\" & #theImage.getName()#) /> and a few other combinations, but all give the same result. What am I missing here? (I just KNOW its going to end up being one of those 'slap the forehead' moments!) -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
